Saint Catherine of Alexandria

St. Catherine was a 4th century martyr. The symbol commonly associated with her is a wheel or a wheel with knives, since she was set to be tortured on a wheel with pointed knives. It is said that the machine fell to pieces when she touched it. She was then beheaded. Wagon wheel pasta with its wheel shape would be a fitting option for a meal today. I don't have a particular recipe in mind - any meal that would call for pasta would work to incorporate this symbol.

I just love this idea Mary!! I went by the store today, after piking up a cake from the bakery :) to buy some of these noodles, but your local market didn't have them... Next year I will plan ahead and we will add this pasta to next years celebration! Thanks for posting!!

We give thee thanks, almighty God, for all your benefits, who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.

May the Lord grant us His peace. And life everlasting. Amen.

Alternate conclusion:And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
